Some of the people here really like to censor.

Not that it’s a strictly uninteresting topic but it 1) was presented in a way that will cause many people to be defensive and 2) has an unclear association with the topic of these comments. Both of those are common reasons for downvotes on a comment here.

Well then you could have said that at the beginning. Now we can take your opinions and maybe agree with them.

That comment was dead before I could vote on it. I was just describing what I saw in it which seemed likely reasons for it to have been downvoted so much.
